Pastor John Hagee: “BDS is Economic Antisemitism, and It Must Be Stopped in Every State of the United States of America.”

Monday marked the start of the Christians United for Israel’s (CUFI) Washington Summit. (CUFI is the largest pro-Israel organization in the United States.) The conference saw some 5,000 pro-Israel activists in attendance. Members of CUFI gathered in Washington DC to show their support for Israel and to plot next steps in their mission to help in building Israel and protecting her from her enemies. In celebrating 50 years of Jerusalem’s reunification, John Hagee, the San Antonio pastor and founder of CUFI, told the audience how Israel’s enemies constantly changed their tactics, going from conventional war, to guerrilla fighting, to terrorists planting bombs in buses, to suicide bombers blowing themselves up in cafes, to firing rockets and trying to infiltrate Israel via terrorist tunnels. Mentioning the newest front – the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement – Hagee said that the threats will continue.

“BDS is a manifesto void of any ideology, other than hatred with the sole mission of total and complete destruction of the economy of the State Israel,” he said.

“[The war on BDS] will yield less bloodshed, but the same result [as a conventional war is what the enemy is trying to achieve]: the destruction of Israel,” he said. “BDS is economic antisemitism, and it must be stopped in every state of the United States of America.”

As part of their ongoing effort to support Israel and defend her against her enemies, CUFI will push a measure that expands anti-boycott laws to target the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel. Among the states in the US that have passed anti-BDS legislation in recent months are: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was patched into the conference, via satellite, to give his remarks to the attendees of the Christians United for Israel (CUFI) conference. To a crowd of cheering Israel supporters in attendance of the CUFI Washington Summit, Netanyahu said, “the Christian friends of Israel, you are always there for us, we have no better friends than you. Thank you!”

Thank you CUFI for your staunch support of Israel. God bless you and God bless America.

i wholeheartedly agree with Avinoam Ben Dor-thank you for standing for Israel. If we stand by and do nothing, then we have chosen against Israel and the people of Israel, even if we support Israel in our heart.

The Righteous are bold as a lion-it is written in the Bible. It is time to stand for Israel both in word and in our support.

I was there. Second year I have attended. I am a Jewish American and I can honestly say this crowd is the most enthusiastic, pro-Israel group of people I have ever been around. The people are absolutely stoked in their support of Israel. Ambassador Dermer got multiple standing ovations and when VP Pence said the US embassy will be moved to Jerusalem the place went wild!! Highly recommend anyone who loves Israel to attend and support CUFI.

As Re(a)velation shows us the strive to destruction will go-on till the end of man’s history. When King Davids seed will take over BDS will be brought to nought, let’s rejoice about it. I find it is a pity that Israël left the Temple Mount to the WAQF and wether Israël breaks down that convenant or not the strive will go on. I’d rather should say take Your Holy Place wich is your PROPERTY given by G_d and give a blow on the mosque wich is put there without Jewish permission. The earlier Israël will handle the earlier the world shall know the proper owner of the site.Whatever will be done it shall always give Hostility

Without Jewry the world would be very different. Everything stems from the seed of Abraham, Judaism, Islam, Christianity. Without Joseph Egypt may have died in the 6 year draught – no East? Without Karl Marx there would be no unions -jus a world of serfs. No Rothchild, now world banking, without Freud, no new thinking, Our people started most of the world’s comfort. Even cosmetics, diet systems read the many books on the subject. Thank Israel for mobiles, lap tops, brilliant discoveries by $14mil who have won 34 Nobel prizes in a world of 7 billion. What have the Arabs contributed? Israel turned its sand dunes and mosquito swamps into a thriving world enhancing economy. Palestinians turned theirs into bomb tunnels and unrepaired shattered buildings created by their ongoing bombardment of innocent peace loving Israeli residents. The world still supports Palestinians at a cost of billions. Bible tells us “Be a light unto the nations” We have. The world has repaid with unreasonable ongoing insane hatred, CUFI are a light to the world.

Although we are living at the opposite end of the world and our country has no policy against Israel we do read of the BDS in our local news papers and there are pockets of people pushing to have a type of BDS brought into our law. We continue to pray for Israel its people and Government and that our God will be glorified thru the Lord Jesus.

Pastor Hagee does espouse love for Israel — he also proclaims that is a Jew comes to him he must tell him that J-man is his only salvation! As an ex-churchian and now a Noachide , please support those truly for Israel! With no hidden agendas. Mary-Alice
